if you want to paint the screen white,
paint the inside white and then paint with silvier then matt black.
use as little paint as possible to avoid it flaking off.
white will tend to go a little darker no matter what light colour paint you back it with.


You've got what I was trying to say and answered my question too. Thanks.

When painting the windshield on inside, do I need to rub it down to get it � little rough before applying?

Did mine with vinyl wrap, looks okay.

Good thing is it peels off if you need to return it to normal.

Very nice! But how does it look on the back?

Did you do it by yourself? Is it hard to get it good looking without any bubbles?

Do you have any photos when its on the bike? :)

sorry i have not replyed sooner been abit busy with anew job , the back is black , as for putting the carbon wrap on take your time use a hair dryer to warm it up , use a plastic card to rub over the carbon to get the air bubbles out , check this link out

Have you, or someone else tried using this method on the side covers instead of painting? As the plastic is Polyeten (oily plastic) its really hard (if not impossible) to make it stick to the plastic... It would be a great solution if it works!!
